Job Requirements: Doctorate Degree
We are seeking an outstanding bioinformatics Postdoctoral Scientist to join our interdisciplinary team of system biologists. Bioinformatics research projects at the University of Louisville currently underway fall into the broad categories of developing algortihmic methodologies for high throughput sequence data; microarray and miRNA analysis; and computational and statistical approaches to understanding RNA regulatory networks. The successful candidate will be expected to integrate into a larger workgroup of bioinformatics researchers and potentially collaborate across departments, schools, and universities affiliated with the statewide Kentucky Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (KBRIN). The University of Louisville is seeking to build upon an area of expertise by building a team of interdisciplinary researchers for a Systems Biology and Bioinformatics research core. The core will be supported by and have a presence in KBRIN. Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the position are filled. [More]
The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a world leader in genetic research, is looking for an exceptional Computational Biologist (Staff Scientist) to work on host-pathogen interactions. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of laboratory scientists, computational biologists and bioinformatics to develop innovative analysis tools and to lead on the biological analysis of large datasets. The role will be based within the Institute’s Malaria Programme (Dr. Oliver Billker), but we are looking for a talented individual who can provide an effective interface with our other Programmes in Cellular Genetics and Computational Biology, in particular the Single Cell Initiative (Dr. Sarah Teichmann and others). Ongoing large-scale projects range from screening libraries of in vitro differentiated stem cells for interactions with a panel of pathogens, to single cell transcriptomics of malaria parasite development and immunity. For informal inquiries you may contact Dr. Oliver Billker (ob4@sanger.ac.uk). [More]

Position: Assistant Professor of Biology Stetson University seeks a molecular geneticist for a tenure-track appointment as an assistant professor. This is a full time, 9-month position, beginning in August 2017. Qualifications: A Ph.D. in genetics with demonstrated excellence in teaching undergraduates and a record of scholarly publication. Acceptable specializations include genomics, bioinformatics, epigenetics, cell and molecular biology. We seek a dedicated teacher-scholar who will be an excellent teacher, engaged undergraduate research mentor, and productive scholar. Postdoctoral experience is strongly recommended but not required. Candidates should show a strong commitment to innovative teaching and advising. We are particularly interested in candidates with a commitment to improving access to higher education for students from underserved populations in the sciences. Responsibilities: The teacher-scholar model at Stetson requires that tenure-track faculty teach three courses each semester complemented with quality scholarship and service. Primary teaching responsibilities include an upper-division genetics course and associated lab sections, an introductory biology course, and mentoring of capstone senior research projects. The combined teaching load is equivalent to three course units per semester which typically ranges from 9 to 12 contact hours. Other courses will be based on the candidate's expertise, and may include new or existing upper-division biology and/or General Education courses. Candidates will be expected to pursue a vigorous program of research involving undergraduates. All majors in the College of Arts and Sciences complete a Senior Project, and therefore mentoring undergraduates as researchers is a key responsibility. The candidate will also assist with academic advising of students each semester. Candidates should demonstrate a passion for the highest quality of teaching, combined with the ability to produce rigorous peer-reviewed academic scholarship. Scholarly activity leading to publication in peer-reviewed journals and service to the Department, the College of Arts and Sciences, the University, and the profession are required. For more information on our expectations in teaching and scholarship, our tenure policies, and our support for faculty development, please see the Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs website: http://www.stetson.edu/provost. Salary: Salary is competitive. Starting Date: August 15, 2017 [More]
The Massachusetts General Hospital is looking for an exceptional candidate to join our growing Computational Pathology Research Group, with a particular research focus on informatics and cancer. The successful candidate will aid in integrating large datasets including genomic scale next-generation sequencing data, ChIP seq data, and single cell transcriptional analysis of cancer with the applied research generated in our laboratories. Our current Computational Pathology Research Group includes computational biologists, bioinformatics analysts, basic and translational scientists and clinicians. We are seeking highly motivated individuals who will enjoy pursuing rigorous computational analysis in a collaborative environment. More information about our research faculty can be found at http://www.massgeneral.org/pathology/faculty/faculty_research.aspx Principal Duties and Responsibilities: Design and implement computational pipelines for processing of data generated by next-generation sequencing platforms (e.g., DNA sequencing, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq) Develop data analysis strategies and apply them to cancer data sets, critically review and analyze results, communicate results to biologists, computational biologists, software engineers and clinicians. Explore novel data visualization tools, with emphasis on integrating diverse data types, which will include clinical data Implement algorithms as software for distribution to the cancer research community Support specific research projects conducted by principal investigators in MGH Pathology.

The Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research (MPIPZ) in Cologne, Germany, invites applications for a PhD position in the field of bioinformatics, genome assembly and plant genomics. The position is available in the Genome Plasticity and Computational Genetics headed by Dr Korbinian Schneeberger. Background / Objectives The focus of our group involves the development of methods for the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data (including Illumina, PacBio and Oxford Nanopore data), as well as the application of these methods in plant genetics/genomics. We develop new and creative methods to analyze genomes including reconstruction of the genome sequence (genome assembly) and analysis of differences to other genomes (genome comparison) covering all topics of sequence bioinformatics. We apply these methods to understand the dynamics of genomes and how they change over time - in short term over a few generations as well as over long evolutionary scales - as well as how these genomic differences encode for differences in the phenotypes. The initial project of the selected candidate will include the analysis and comparison of plants from an inter-species cross between two related plants. We will analyze how the chromosomes of such hybrid plants (each cell carries the genomes of two species) rearrange and mutate over the initial generation after crossing. It is known that the combination of chromosome sets of different species leads to drastic rearrangements. However, it is not clear how and what speed these mutations are introduced happens. The candidate will be involved in design of the sequence experiment, computational data analyses (including development of methods and approaches) of the genomes and interpretation of the results as well as in defining follow-up experiments. Payment / Position The position is available immediately. Selected candidates will be invited for interview. Salary and working hours are in accordance with the funding guidelines of the Max Planck Society for junior scientists. Working hours are fulltime; salary is 50 % of E13 TVöD-Bund. The Max-Planck society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. [More]
